Yahweh Gives Moses His Orders and Reveals His Name
God ordered Moses to return to Egypt and tell the Children of Israel,
“Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.”[i]
Once the Children of Israel knew who had sent him, God assured Moses they would respond positively to his message. Then He said,
“…this (Yahweh) is My Name forever, the Name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.”[ii]
This is an important point. The very first command Yahweh gave Moses was to tell the Children of Israel His Name. Obviously, He never intended for us to forget it because forever means “without end.” God certainly did not want us to conceal His Name in the Scriptures by substituting the titles “LORD” and “GOD” in its place. People did that on their own initiative, and as I said before, Satan must have inspired them to do it.
At that moment, Yahweh could have instructed Moses to tell the Children of Israel not to say His Name, and if saying His Name had been a problem, He would have. He must have known how they would respond when they learned that Moses had come in His Name and that Yahweh was going to rescue them. His Name was about to spread through their community faster than a brush fire in the desert.
Yahweh’s Name is important. It draws a sharp distinction between Him and every god created by men, and it identifies Him as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It also distinguishes between Him and any human being called lord. Yahweh is not a god or a lord. He is the One true God and the Lord and Master of all creation.
Moses Goes to Pharaoh
After Moses delivered God’s message to the Israelites, he went to Pharaoh and told him that Yahweh, “the God of Israel,”[iii] had said to let His people go to serve Him. Pharaoh must have been amused with Moses because he had fled from Egypt 40 years earlier, and now he was back giving orders. The Egyptians believed Pharaoh was god on earth. In his eyes, Moses was nothing and the Children of Israel were less than nothing, except for the fact that he wanted them to continue making bricks.
Pharaoh looked at Moses and arrogantly said,
“Who is Yahweh that I should obey His Voice and let Israel go? I do not know Yahweh.”[iv]
Pharaoh was right. He did not know Yahweh, and that was the problem. If he had known Yahweh, he never would have treated the Hebrew people so harshly, and now he decided to teach Moses a lesson by imposing an even heavier burden on them.
From that moment forward, he proudly proclaimed, they would be required to gather the straw used in brick making, but their daily quota would remain the same. Until that time, the Egyptians provided the straw, and the Hebrews made the bricks. Thus, Pharaoh made their backbreaking task even more difficult. He did not realize it, but he was begging Yahweh to teach him a lesson.
Children of Israel were incensed when Pharaoh increased their workload, and they let Moses know it. They blamed him because he was God’s emissary. He had told them that God would deliver them, but instead of setting them free, God allowed Pharaoh to punish them severely even though they had done nothing wrong.
Moses was dumbfounded, and he presumptuously told God,
“Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done harm to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”[v]
Yahweh’s response to Moses is revealing. He simply told Moses to give the Children of Israel this explanation:
“I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a permanent possession; I am Yahweh.”[vi]
The essence of God’s explanation is this: “I am Yahweh.” In truth, “I am Yahweh” says it all. These verses hint at the importance of God’s Name. In some ways, the significance of His Name is a mystery because most of us don’t place much weight on names, but God does. He wants us to know that His Name sets Him apart. Yahweh is the Sovereign Lord of the universe—a fact that Pharaoh is about to learn.
This is an excerpt from His Name is Yahweh. It explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important. It’s a book that you need to read and share. It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.

Ezekiel 5: 13-17
‘Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be appeased; then they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them. Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by. So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, Yahweh, have spoken. When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread. Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken.’

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
